The Marvelous Stories Behind The Most Played Christmas Hit Records

The Rare & Scratchy Rock 'n Roll groove yard is home to one of the largest known collections of Christmas records this side – or any side of the North Pole – along with an encyclopedic archive of the histories behind those tunes.

And from holiday seasons past comes this Christmas present for you – the pick of those platters plus some pleasing patter with festive and fun factoids. Like the least-known stories behind the most played Christmas records, the first rock and roll Christmas hit, the top-secret technology from the 1940s that was used to create Christmas hits in the 1950s, and a Christmas hit from a blockbuster film that helped bust a real life villain.

This holiday mix also includes the rarest Christmas hit single ever, as well as a song that just could be the worst Christmas record of all time. And it’s all just in time to help you celebrate the songs of the season.
